The Sandia Foundation annually benefits UNM and Dickinson College. Through a competitive grant program the Foundation also makes annual grants to various Albuquerque charitable organizations.
In 2006 the Sandia Foundation engaged the services of the Albuquerque Community Foundation to administer its annual grant award program. Sandia Foundation’s Trustees will continue to review and recommend grant recipients; however, the Community Foundation will organize the grant applications and perform the required due diligence.
